It’s raining elephants ’round here (the weather’s been dreary for the past 4 days already you gotta keep your breeches and save for later when the sun shines). And in times like this, for me, nothing beats a steaming mug of hot chocolate and a serving of suman (a popular rice cake in the Philippines; see more of its description here). Just yum-o!  But that’s just for starters.

For lunch and dinner , I want something hot and spicy. I don’t have anything specific in mind just that it’s hot and spicy. Actually, for all I care, you can give me anything - as in anything under the rainy skies - but couple it with a bottle of Tabasco. *smiles*

Remember that small bottle that gives all the zing I could want in my food? It’s hot and spicy and it’s all I ever need to give a bang to my system in a dreary weather like today. So there, give me anything and with a dash of Tabasco Red Chili Sauce, I’ll surely eat it like it’s first class gourmet dish.
